This meta-analysis, conducted by Machteld Hoeve, Judith Semon Dubas, Veronii I. Eichelsheim, Peter H. van der Laan, Wilma Smeenk, and Jan R. M. Gerris, aimed to determine the existence and magnitude of the association between parenting and delinquency. The study analyzed 161 published and unpublished manuscripts, focusing on various parenting dimensions and behaviors. The strongest links were found for parental monitoring, psychological control, and negative aspects of support, such as rejection and hostility, which accounted for up to 11% of the variance in delinquency. The study also explored moderators such as gender of the child and parent, delinquency type, informant on parenting, and methodological characteristics. Key findings include the importance of negative aspects of support, parental monitoring, and psychological control in predicting delinquency. The analysis revealed that the relationship between parenting and delinquency is moderated by various factors, suggesting that specific parenting behaviors are more effective in certain contexts or subgroups.This meta-analysis, conducted by Machteld Hoeve, Judith Semon Dubas, Veronii I.
